The Curve The Curve

Full transparency, The Curve Weekly got a little financially off track this week. The mention of Snapchat’s sky rocketing share price meant that there were a few minds in the gutter... and by a few, it was only Soph's. The conversation went a little like this... "Surely the only reason Snapchat share price went up 30% in a day was because a celebrity's nudes were leaked right...?" As you can imagine, this thought process completely derailed our very high brow investing conversation, and gave us a peek into Soph’s extra curricular activities that quite frankly, no one needed to know about. AirBnb is up 30% year to date but will they be able to keep growing? Apple did their biggest share buyback on record of $110 BILLION AKA the biggest green flag ever, and somehow we learnt that Vic thinks of herself as a Giraffe.... Go figure.

It’s no secret people get scammed all the time. With voice impersonations and deepfake phishing on the rise, scammers have reached a new level of deception. But imagine if the person scamming you was in plain sight, someone you thought you could trust with everything. This is what happened to Tracy Hall, who you might recognise from the podcast ‘Who The Hell Is Hamish’. After 7 years of re-building her life off the back of financial and emotional betrayal, Tracy is stronger than ever and she's on a mission to erase the stigma and shame that comes with being the victim of a scam. Tracy is living proof that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Get the tissues at the ready, this episode will have you in tears (happy or sad, you decide).

The Last Victim written by Tracy Hall with Summer Land is now available for purchase. Click here for more info.

As Linda Jenkinson (the absolute icon that we interviewed last week) would say; a business' success boils down to three things; entrepreneur, entrepreneur, entrepreneur. And this week we're looking at how Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg continue to kill the game. In other newwwws (sorry Vic), the New York stock exchange might be opening 24/7 and Google have declared their first ever dividend (which is where they return cash to their shareholders). Go on Google!

This is Linda Jenkinson, or otherwise known as LJ, the first woman to ever list a company on the NASDAQ stock exchange in the US. We know what you’re thinking, this must’ve been ages ago right? LJ listed her company in 1998... that’s only 26 years ago! Being constantly dismissed because of her gender, it's safe to say that LJ has encountered a fair few glass ceilings which she's smashed through at full force. She sees life as a set of games where she’s constantly breaking the rules, and she's on a mission to lead the way for young entrepreneurs and women across the globe. Inspiring, empowering and at many times, completely shocking, we're really excited to share with you our chat.

Mixing things up this week, we're talking currencies! Currencies are a bit like stocks; they fluctuate depending on demand, and can actually be a creative way of saving money. Hint: take a holiday to a destination where the currency is weak - you'll be living it up for less!  Testing that theory is Vic who has has decided to fly to Spain to surprise flower man (AKA her boyfriend), meanwhile Soph is on a fly hunt (literally - please excuse any blow fly sounds that enter this recording). Big updates from the Doc Martin stock, Samsonite and a few other goodies! Important note for those only here for the finance news - and not our lives - please skip to the 6 minute mark!

If you haven't already heard of the FIRE movement, let us introduce you to this amazing concept. FIRE (otherwise known as 'financial independence retire early') is a pretty extreme approach to saving + investing. Someone who has successfully gotten herself in position where she could retire before her 40th birthday is the amazing Ana Kresina. She is a financial educator, author and ex-roller derby player who although she could retire, is choosing to work and empower women all over the world to find the same freedom she now has. An inspiring, important and brilliant conversation - we guarantee you'll be on FIRE by the end of this ep.
